Vallejo man drowns at Lake Berryessa

A 25-year-old Vallejo man drowned at Lake Berryessa on Saturday, a Napa County Sheriff's Office spokesman said Monday.

A team of divers recovered the body of Jesus Gonzalez early Sunday morning after searching for about 15 minutes, Sgt. Doug Pace said. Gonzalez' body was found in about nine feet of water, about 22 feet from the shore, he said.

Gonzalez was evidently swimming in a cove near Oak Shores, around 1:40 p.m. Saturday, when he went under, Pace said. A friend tried grabbing Gonzalez to save him, but was pulled under himself and forced to let go, he said.

"We don't know whether or not alcohol was involved in this, but we'll find out later from the autopsy," Pace said. Those results can take up to a couple of weeks, he added.
